The Congress has demanded to know from the Election Commission what was ‘objectionable’ in a song released as part of its election campaign.

Writing on Twitter, Congress spokesman Salman Anees Soz said on Sunday, “Dear ECI: What is objectionable about this? This is Modi & BJP. Tum jhooti chaalein chal ke, sheheron ke naam badal ke, noton ko kachra kar ke, aur har nirdhan ko chhal ke, nafrat ka dhuaan phailaake, bhai se bhai ladaake, kehte ho hum ko chun lo, ab tum bhi humaari sun lo”

(You tread on the path of untruth, change the name of cities, turn bank notes into waste, hurt every poor person, spread the smoke of hatred, make brother fight brother, say you elect us; now it’s our turn to be heard).
